Wolfram Huschke: Transcription of Interview, Pt. 1/5 (Music)
Wolfram Huschke: Transcription of Interview, Pt. 1/5 (Music) by Wolfgang Senges is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Germany License. Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available by contacting http://contentsphere.de.
Our interview is arranged at 4pm. While staying at Trier (he’s going to have a second, more improvised concert the next day), Wolfram Huschke is spending his days... no, that’s not quite correct. His days are filled with practicing, rehearsals, interviews, and even preparing for more projects. So, I’m invited to General Music Director Victor Puhl’s house where Wolfram Huschke is guesting.
After a short chat with Victor Puhl, Wolfram disappears somewhere downstairs. Then he’s back, and I must say, I wasn’t surprised at all to see Wolfram Huschke grab his Cello while I set up my MacBook. As you will see, he does not let the instrument go for one second during the interview. It doesn’t fit in terms of seriousness but I can’t help thinking of a ventriloquist with his puppet. They both are one. It is one voice that talks to you.
Q1: Musical impact
ContentSphere: You’re playing cello for four decades now. That’s quite a lot. Then there’s the scope of music you play which is incredibly wide. So, where do you get your influence from? Apart from (Johann Sebastian) Bach and (Jimi) Hendrix who you are mentioning - are there any other contemporary musicians having impact on you?
Wolfram Huschke: I think it’s much similar to Twitter: Everything tweets on the timeline. What’s music to me? There’s music in silence, here’s music right in the instrument itself, and within the atmospheric’s pressure there are tiny tunes swinging all around. Each change of condition results in different melodies.

Introducing "Cellonaut" Wolfram Huschke: Music Online Connects
Accidentally, I came across a musician lately. It is a story about how social media should work.
In April, @cellonaut from Twitter followed me. Just as always when someone follows, I inspected his tweets and bio... hm, cello player. Quite obvious from his Twitter alias. Hash tags told me he was about to play my home town in May. Then I got to his site: The sound examples simply blew me away (see “Press” and “CDs”). I had to go see him play. I had to CONTACT him. Xing and Facebook got us fully connected. We arranged for an interview. Btw, he’s great at tweeting too... on his way from Hamburg to Trier (where he was about to play) he was kind of twinterviewed - @hunderttausend, Trier online mag, played Q&A for 6 (!) hours.
A musician, playing an instrument as traditional as a cello in a most non-traditional way. Open to online life. That’s great. This has to be fun.
Now, you may ask yourself - who is this guy?
